Pure Nutrition is made locally by Juscrolex Nutrition based in Raedene. I have had enough of local stuff and moving on to trying USA Stuff.

 

I never had such a stomach flush after using the USN Epic pro. I can only assume the pros use it have such bad cramps- that ride like mad to finish and so they can get to the loo! FAST!

I think its value for money its works like magic . I've used most if supplements they work but not like pure blast .

Hey Forthefun

 

I might have an option for you.

 

We are a new nutrition company that decided to do our own thing. We wanted the best ingredients, in a specific combination at the best price – so we started STF.

 

The whole idea was started with a discussion on nutrition for Trans Bavians. We wanted to make something suited for MTB`ers needs but couldn’t find something that covers all basis.

 

So we enlisted the help of a food scientist, nutritionist and some MTB riders. We all listed our needs, and this was the result:

 

www.singletrackfuel.com

 

We used one of our friend with a stomach as soft as some of the “computer cowboys” on the hub - as a test subject and it worked fine for him. However, you sound like a special case.

 

We would like to send you some sample of our Marathon Fuel and Recovery booster to test. We are just as keen to see what happens as you are.

 

We used a mixture of carbs - from low GI for sustained energy, to quick absorbing (vitargo) - to make it easier on the stomach. we believe in putting our product out there – rather than just endlessly ranting on.

 

So, would you be keen for us to send you some sample? And more importantly – would you be willing for us to use your feedback in marketing?

 

PM me if you are.

Hi Vince

 

Thank you for the kind offer. I must tell you my tumm is stong. Amongst my buds This was noramal, as they to all had smilier issues.

 

I would like to buy the stuff, and report back to you privately. I believe you must have a good product as you happy to put it forward.

 

Where do I get it?

 

The free sample may be from USN, they could try and take me out - as I had issues with product. lol

Some products works for some and not others...

In the US they have to comply with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. In SA there is nothing like that. They have been trying to get it going, but as it stand currently you can advertise what you want, put whatever you wnat on the labels, and do not need to prove anything.

The consumer protection act is supposed to look at this, but can't see that happeing soon.

 

A possible reason for the runs might be an 'overdose' of one of the types of Carbs in the drinks. One typically have an upper limit for absorbtion in the gut, and if you exeed this in your drink, your body will "get rid of it" - either up or down...

 

Some brand put in large concentrations of carbs to supposedly increase endurance, but you cannot absorb the quantities of carbs, leaving you with the trots...

 

Optimal concentration of 6-8% carbs, depending on the type. This concentration can be safely pushed up by combining various types of carbs (glucose/fructose/sucrose/galactose), but generally Fructose is very poorly handled by most GITs during exercise.

32 GI is great. I struggle with energy drinks but for a different reason. All the colourants etc cause chaos with my sinus so I only use them for races and then suffer afterwards. 32GI, I have used 2 days before a race as a carboloading drink and it doesn't affect my sinus or stomach at all.
